If you want to feel small go out in your back yard in the summer (not near the 4th of July) and look up at the sky. Turn off the porch light, and if you have to - ask the neighbors to turn off theirs. This is the Milky Way.
If you live in a moderately sized city, you're going to have to ask quite a few "neighbors" to shut off their "porch lights" before you can see the Milky Way.
And seriously, employee lock-ins? Why do people put up with that crap? Is working at a social media company, which will most like be replaced by another social media company within five years, some great honor?
Because people will put up with a lot of bullshit to keep their jobs, especially if the economy is bad.
Should he ever be unable to make even as little as one payment, people are gone.
He's not going to have that problem for a long, long time. And even if his company eventually did go bankrupt, unless he acts like a complete idiot with his money, he's set for life.
Context means everything. The issue isn't people who have lost their documents and somehow can't possibly get new ones. The issue is illegal immigrants who don't have documents, and people on one side of the debate are trying to deceptively frame it in a certain light.
The only way you're going to prevent kids from picking on other kids is to never give them any free time to socialize. That includes bus stops, before the bell rings, lunch, and after school. Kids are little monsters. It has nothing to do with the education system.
I am a curmudgeon in these matters, and for most purposes, I still find a mouse to be superior to any of its supposed replacements, including touch - Englebart was a genius.
A mouse is a great device, but it isn't portable. I prefer a stylus for precision on portables, but everybody seems to hate them.
A foreign police agency asking you to review a customer's adherence to your own "laws" (TOS) is not a "legal demand". It's the same kind of request anyone could make.
Technically correct, but it's deceptively made to appear as a legal demand. It's like those asshole marketers who try to trick people into claiming a bogus prize, or buy some official-looking warranty for your car that is about to expire, or a sleazy company trying to trick you that your domain is expiring and that you should send a payment to them to prevent it.
Yeah, it's bluster, but the average person receiving a notice like that will get freaked out a bit.
Was I doing 57 in a 55 zone? If I said that, he'd ticket me on the spontaneous confession.
I've never been ticketed despite "confessing" when I've been pulled over. One time I was driving with my friend and missed an odd stop sign. My friend told me and there happened to be a cop right there. The cop asked me The Question, I told him I missed the stop sign, and I also told him my friend told me because I didn't see it. He gave me a warning and let me go (and even gave me directions).
Even if it's a reasonable guess making up a quote that looks like it was pulled from a real policy doc is a crappy thing to do. And no, it doesn't "most certainly EXISTS" in a contract. There's a big difference between certain knowledge and an educated guess.
I've looked, and found no reference for this. On their SteamOS page, they hint at it but it's nebulous:
"Cooperating system
Steam is not a one-way content broadcast channel, it's a collaborative many-to-many entertainment platform, in which each participant is a multiplier of the experience for everyone else. With SteamOS, "openness" means that the hardware industry can iterate in the living room at a much faster pace than they've been able to. Content creators can connect directly to their customers. Users can alter or replace any part of the software or hardware they want. Gamers are empowered to join in the creation of the games they love. SteamOS will continue to evolve, but will remain an environment designed to foster these kinds of innovation."
This is not a quote. It is an implication; that behind closed doors, between vendors, there is an "arrangement" MS requires, and if they refuse to comply --- MS has the stick of refusing logo certification to their product ---- if nVidia doesn't get the Windows Logo; then neither do any of the hardware builders or OEMs using nVidia components; therefore, they are likely to ship someone else's hardware instead, so they can get the logo.
In other words, you made up a phony quote that looks like it's copied straight from a real policy and got modded to +5 Informative, when instead it's just speculation on your part.
Most climate scientists I've met would love for there to be some strong, evidence-backed, scientific theories countering their work, because then their next grant application practically writes itself.
I don't know how anybody who has seen the sausage being made in the ClimateGate affair can claim that. Climate science is highly politicized, and there was a lot of internal pressure to present a consensus viewpoint.
I saw a documentary years ago where an undercover agent, trying to infiltrate a biker gang, used staged photos of a murder of a rival gang member to give him some street cred with the gang. So no, Breaking Bad wasn't there first.
There are plenty of Linux distributions without GNU tools.
That took a long time to happen. Linux gained fame as a kernel combined with the GNU tools over 20 years ago. Stallman's complaint originated early on. Wikipedia helpfully has a history section on it.

Here's the sort of language about testing that actually appears on that site
No wonder the test was so bad, they were just following by example. Who writes shit like that?
Actually, he's probably thinking of dark matter. LIGO operates on the surface of the Earth.
But at least defiantly passes the spellchecker.

Do you think the North Korean government would last 10 minutes if everyone there was suddenly made aware of living standards outside their country?
It wouldn't surprise me. The population is subjugated. The military gets fed, and dissenters get killed or worse.

Just because you add a disclaimer doesn't mean it will fly in court.

I've never teased anyone in my life.
I bet your never told a lie in your life, either.

"Don't YOU know???" is my answer to that :)
And a guaranteed way to get a ticket. Don't act like a dick and many times they'll let you go with a warning.

Boehner is just treating them exactly how they treated him.
Boehner didn't initiate or want this fight. He took it up because of the Tea Party movement within the House.
Valve stated that SteamOS will be open source.

I'm guessing he's relying on his engineers and not shooting from the hip, regardless.
The guy's dead.. the distortion field's gone.. why are you still acting this way?
You're asking this about somebody with the handle of "chr1st1anSoldier"?
